[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a production line for a vehicle dashboard crossbeam assembly, including a base plate 1. A conveyor belt 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. The conveyor belt 2 realizes the function of conveying the vehicle dashboard crossbeam. During the spraying process, the crossbeam is placed on the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 is driven by a motor to move at a set speed and direction, gradually conveying the crossbeam 27 from the inlet end to the outlet end of the spraying device 28. A base 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor belt 2. The base 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor belt 2, which plays a supporting and fixing role, and provides an installation base for components such as support plates 4 and motors 5, ensuring that these components remain stable during operation. Two support plates 4 are fixedly connected inside the base 3. The support plates 4 can provide an installation platform for the various components inside the positioning assembly, providing stable support.
[0034] Motor 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of both support plates 4. Motor 5 is the power source for the entire positioning. By controlling the rotation of motor 5, gear 6 can be driven to rotate. Gear 6 is fixedly connected to the drive end of motor 5. The function of gear 6 is to transmit the power of motor 5 to rack 7. Through the meshing transmission between gear 6 and rack 7, the rotational motion of motor 5 is converted into the linear motion of rack 7. When motor 5 rotates, gear 6 drives rack 7 to move to one side. Multiple support columns 10 are fixedly connected to the top of both support plates 4. The function of support columns 10 is to support round rod 9 and ensure the stability of round rod 9. Round rod 9 provides a sliding track for slider 8, so that slider 8 can move smoothly on round rod 9, thereby ensuring that the clamping action of clamping rod 13 is accurate and stable.
[0035] A round rod 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the front and rear support columns 10. Two sliders 8 are fixedly connected to the outer side of each round rod 9. The sliders 8 convert the linear motion of the rack 7 into the clamping and releasing action of the clamping rod 13. When the rack 7 moves under the drive of the gear 6, the sliders 8 move along the round rod 9, causing the clamping rod 13 to move closer to or away from the crossbeam 27, thereby realizing the clamping and releasing of the crossbeam. The top of each slider 8 is fixedly connected to the clamping rod 13, and the top of the clamping rod 13 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 14. The function of the clamping rod 13 is to connect the sliders 8 and the clamping block 14, converting the movement of the sliders 8 into the clamping and releasing action of the clamping block 14 on the crossbeam 27. A rack 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the slider 8. The rack 7 is the power transmission object of the gear 6. By meshing with the gear 6, it converts the rotational motion of the gear 6 into its own linear motion. The side of the rack 7 is meshed with the outer side of the gear 6. A connecting post 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 8. A cleaning component for dust removal is provided on the rear side of the connecting post 11. The function of the connecting post 11 is to connect the slider 8 and the cleaning component together.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The cleaning component includes a connecting rod 12, the front side of which is fixedly connected to the rear side of the connecting post 11. The connecting rod 12 is the connecting component between the cleaning component and the positioning device, and plays a role in transmitting motion. When the slider 8 moves through the clamping device, the connecting rod 12 moves accordingly. A rotating block 15 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the connecting rod 12. The rotating block 15 is the switch for the second motor 16. When the connecting rod 12 pushes the rotating block 15, the second motor 16 starts. The other end of the rotating block 15 is fixedly connected to the second motor 16, which is the power source of the cleaning component. By controlling the speed and direction of the second motor 16, the drive wheel 17 can be driven to rotate. The drive end of the second motor 16 is fixedly connected to the drive wheel 17. The function of the drive wheel 17 is to transmit the power of the second motor 16 to the driven wheel 19 through the belt 18. When the second motor 16 starts, the drive wheel 17 rotates, driving the driven wheel 19 to rotate through the belt 18, thereby realizing the transmission and distribution of power. A belt 18 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the drive wheel 17, and a driven wheel 19 is rotatably connected to the other end of the belt 18. The driven wheel 19 receives the power transmitted by the drive wheel 17 through the belt 18 and converts it into the rotational motion of the rotating rod 20. The rotating rod 20 is fixedly connected to the front side of the driven wheel 19 and transmits the rotational motion of the driven wheel 19 to the U-shaped rod 22.
[0037] By rotating the rotating rod 20, the U-shaped rod 22 can swing, thereby driving the nozzle 25 to reciprocate and clean the surface of the crossbeam. The other end of the rotating rod 20 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped rod 22, and a moving block 23 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the U-shaped rod 22. The moving block 23 converts the swinging motion of the U-shaped rod 22 into the rotational motion of the fixed column 24. When the U-shaped rod 22 swings, the moving block 23 moves along the fixed column 24, thereby driving the fixed column 24 to rotate. The fixed column 24 is fixedly connected inside the moving block 23, and a U-shaped block 21 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the fixed column 24. The U-shaped block 21 supports the nozzle 25 and ensures that the nozzle 25 remains stable during rotation. The design of the U-shaped block 21 can accommodate the rotational motion of the nozzle 25 while providing sufficient support to prevent the nozzle 25 from shaking or shifting during cleaning. A nozzle 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed column 24. The nozzle 25 is the core component of the cleaning assembly. Compressed air or other cleaning media is connected to it through an external air pipe 26. The cleaning media is sprayed onto the surface of the beam in the form of a high-speed airflow to remove dust and impurities. An external air pipe 26 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the nozzle 25.
[0038] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 The bottom end of motor 5 is fixedly connected to the inside of base 3 to ensure the stability of motor 5 during operation. The outer side of connecting rod 12 is slidably connected to the inside of base 3. Connecting rod 12 moves in a specific direction inside base 3. The movement of connecting rod 12 is driven by slider 8 of clamping device. When slider 8 moves along round rod 9, it drives connecting rod 12 to slide inside base 3 through connecting post 11. The inside of base 3 has a groove. The outer side of connecting post 11 is slidably connected to the inside of the groove. Groove connecting post 11 provides guiding and limiting functions to ensure that connecting post 11 maintains linear movement during movement and avoids its deviation in the lateral or longitudinal direction. The outer side of clamping rod 13 is slidably connected to the inside of base 3. This connection method allows clamping rod 13 to move in a specific direction inside base 3, thereby realizing the clamping and releasing action of clamping device. A crossbeam rod 27 is installed inside clamping block 14. Clamping block 14 directly contacts and clamps and fixes the crossbeam rod 27.
[0039] The shape and size of the clamping block 14 should match the shape of the crossbeam 27 to ensure clamping firmness and stability. A spraying device 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. The spraying device 28 is responsible for spraying the crossbeam. The spraying device 28 receives paint and sprays the paint evenly onto the surface of the crossbeam. The base plate 1 provides a mounting foundation for the spraying device 28, ensuring its stability during operation. The bottom end of the connecting column 11 is slidably connected to the inside of the base 3. The front side of the driven wheel 19 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the U-shaped block 21, and the rear side of the rotating rod 20 is rotatably connected to the front side of the U-shaped block 21. The driven wheel 19 can be connected to the rotating rod 20 through the U-shaped block 21, thereby realizing power transmission. The bottom end of the U-shaped block 21 is fixedly connected to the inside of the base 3, and the outer side of the belt 18 is in contact with the inside of the base 3.
[0040] Working principle: The operator starts motor 5, which starts moving and drives the gear 6 fixedly connected to its drive end to rotate. The movement of gear 6 drives rack 7 to move horizontally. The movement of rack 7 drives slider 8 to slide on the outside of round rod 9, thereby tightening inward. The movement of slider 8 causes clamping rod 13 to drive clamping block 14 to tighten inward, thus completing the fixation of crossbeam 27. This can firmly fix crossbeam 27 in the set position, preventing it from shifting due to vibration, airflow and other factors during the spraying process. It can ensure that the spray nozzle 25 of the spraying equipment can spray the crossbeam according to the predetermined trajectory and distance, so that the coating is evenly covered on the surface of the crossbeam, avoiding problems such as missed spraying and uneven thickness.
[0041] After the slider 8 is tightened, one of the sliders 8 drives the connecting rod 12 to slide backward. After the connecting rod 12 slides to the designated position, it drives the rotating block 15 to rotate, thus starting the second motor 16. The second motor 16 starts to move and drives the drive wheel 17 to rotate. The rotation of the drive wheel 17 causes the belt 18 to drive the driven wheel 19 to rotate. The movement of the driven wheel 19 causes the rotating rod 20 to make a circular motion in the vertical direction. The rotating rod 20 transmits the force of the circular motion to the U-shaped rod 22. The U-shaped rod 22 drives the fixed column 24 to swing in the horizontal direction, thereby realizing the swing of the nozzle 25. At this time, the nozzle 25 begins to spray dust onto the crossbeam 27, which can remove dust and impurities from the surface of the crossbeam, ensuring that the surface is clean before spraying, thereby improving the coating adhesion and spraying quality, and reducing coating defects caused by impurities.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
